As WCBS 880’s Peter Haskell reported, some of the pen and ink drawings are self-portraits while others are whimsical.

“The nature of his drawings are pretty simple for the most part, cartoonish almost. You’ll see a look into his head,” exhibit producer Rudy Siegel told Haskell. “Very, very cool stuff with some amazing history.”

Proceeds from the suggested $3 donation will benefit the nonprofit group that supplies meals to the city’s homebound elderly.

“I’m hoping that we reach $20,000, which is about what we did last year and it’s huge for us,” Citymeals-on-Wheels executive director Beth Shapiro told Haskell. “Every meal that we deliver is $6.42, $20,000 goes a long way.”

The exhibition is being presented by Lennon’s widow, Yoko Ono, and Bag One Arts and Legacy Fine Arts and Productions.
